That being said, does anyone out there remember the old Catholic school tradition held every May of placing a crown of flowers on the head of a statue of Mary and singing the immortal "Bring Flowers To the Rarest"?

YES!!!! And we still do it.

I actually sang that at a funeral once of someone who loved the May Crowning.

I'm a funeral singer, too. I used to sing at weddings, but now it's mostly funerals. But that's okay. God's anointed my voice to sing at these occasions and it's a blessing.
